LangSight vs Langfuse vs LangWatch

Not another LLM eval platform.
A runtime layer built for MCP.

Langfuse and LangWatch are excellent tools for LLM evaluation and prompt quality. LangSight solves a different problem: monitoring and securing the tools your agents call at runtime — the MCP servers, HTTP APIs, and functions that break silently without anyone noticing.

LangSight

MCP-native

Runtime observability for AI agent toolchains. Purpose-built for MCP server monitoring, security scanning, schema drift detection, and tool call tracing.

Langfuse

LLM eval & tracing

Strong platform for LLM prompt engineering, evals, and cost tracking. Not designed for MCP server health or security — complementary to LangSight.

LangWatch

Quality & guardrails

Focuses on LLM output quality, guardrails, and safety evaluations. Does not cover MCP infrastructure health, CVE scanning, or tool-level security.

LangSight + Langfuse work great together.

Use Langfuse for prompt evaluation and LLM quality. Use LangSight for the runtime layer — MCP health, security, and tool call tracing. They solve different problems at different layers of the stack. No overlap, no conflict.
